The private jet sat down with a sort of elegance; having plenty of space on Tyrrieg's international airport's runways. It rapidly exited the runway, taxiing to a private terminal at the edge of the airport. The door to the jet opened, descending into a form of staircase as Ms. Adams exited with her aide and bodyguard, immediately approaching to shake the hand of whomever had been here to greet her. "It's truly a pleasure to be here." She remarked with a light grin. The airport definitively seemed to struck her with a sense of marvelance that was evident of either someone in general wonder or a trained diplomatic skilled in impressing her hosts. More likely the latter.

Adel looked at his watch while waiting for the Delegation, Minutes have passed waiting and Al-Jubair was not amused, Finally looking up Adel saw a jet slowly landing on the spacious runway, Behind him was one bodyguard, Khalid Al-Adeli, commonly known as the Sword of Jubair, Personal Bodyguard of Mr.Al-Jubair, He earned the nickname due to saving the Minister from an Assassination attempt that if successful could have killed both Al-Jubair and Minister of Defence, Damaar.

Once the plane has stopped, The door opened to reveal a woman, Emilia Adams, Adel presumed and 1 bodyguard, Al-Jubair smiled politly and closed on the Delegate, extending his hand and handshaking her, With the other hand hugging her, A gesture of friendship in Rashidun, "Welcome to Rashidun, Pleased to meet you Ms.Adams." Upon ending the greetings, Adel gave Ms.Adams bodyguard a nod as a gesture of politeness as to not neglect him.

Guiding Ms.Adam through the red carpet that were placed to welcome the Delegation into the Airport, Once inside the 4 were greeted by the Royal Musical Regiment, Stopping on the entrance of the Private section of the Airport, The Regiment started Instrumenting both the Anthem of Rashidun, And the National Anthem of Cascadia.

Upon finishing, Adel Al-Jubair started walking with Ms.Adams to the exit, Occasionally telling Ms.Adams some facts about the Airport and the city Tyrrieg, Once outside the two were greeted by a sea of journalists, Guiding the Delegate to the Governmental Vehicle Parade, Which consisted of Police Security Force escort and a Limousine to house the Delegate and Minister.

As the driver opened the door for both the Minister and Delegate, Al-Jubair ushered the Delegate to go first and then he went after her, "Well wasn't that lovely?" Said Adel to Ms.Adams, As the escort parade began to move, Adel started to point out some landmarks of Tyrrieg for the lady to enjoy, Including but not all the famous Blue Mosque and the Royal Family's Resort.

After what seemed like an hour the escort stopped and the driver opened the door for both of them to leave, Infront of them the famous Emlack Hotel, Home of the meeting that would take in the fancy restaurant, Jebrani.

Once inside the empty private restaurant, Adel gestured Ms.Adams to sit first and them sat to the seat opposite of her and handing her a menu, "Well you cant have a fruitful meeting with an empty stomach, Am i right?"

She displayed a genuine - or really well perfected fake - amusement at the guided tour and formalities of the meeting. Perhaps she wasn't the most interested, but years in diplomatic service had taught her to let them be fanciful. Indicating otherwise would be disrespectful, of course. "It was wonderful, sir." She remarked in relevance to the procession. She listened intently to the Minister's description of her guided tour, occasionally offering input and questions. Once they had reached Jebrana, she sat herself opposite of the Minister with a smile, looking over the menu. "Of course, what would you recommend?"

[Zee]

"Oh, Are you sure about that? I can be very picky with food" He didn't even wait for her answer, Ordering for her and him some appetizers and Hummus, Right after ordering he faced the woman with a polite smile, "Well how about we talk about Cascadia for a change, I am quite interested in knowing our new friend on the west." Rifht after he said that, The waiter came with two cups and a teapot, Pouring for two and going to take another person's order.

[hobbes]

She smiled, awaiting the food and taking a sip of the tea. "Wonderful tea, Well, We're a parliamentary confederated republic, forgiving the long words. We consist of six states who oversee most local domestic issues with a national government majorly responsible for national and foreign issues. Culturally it's well as diverse as the states; The coastal cities tend to be very liberalistic with the mountain states being staunchly conservative. Quite the assembly of people, really. Tell me more about Rashidun?"

[Zee]

"I don't mind at all" Smiled Al-Jubair while sipping on his tea aswell, "Well its not hard to describe Rashidun, its not too dissimilar from Cascadia, We are Constitutional Monarchy, With an elected government and the Royal House being the head of states, As for the Geography, Rashidun is Mountainous on both the West and East borders, With the middle half of the nation being mostly plains and forests, The nation dates back to more than 4 centuries" As he said that the food finally came and the waiter began to put the dishes on the table, "Ah, Finally, How about you tell about yourself Ms.Adams, I mean we do have a lot of time to chat for a bit."

[hobbes]

She took a taste of her food, releasing a light smile "It does taste very nice indeed. Thank you for the selection." She took some more with her tea, "Well, I've been in diplomatic service most of my adult life, working my way up from a lowly diplomatic officer, then the Ambassador to Foxtrove for several years, before moving up to Achkaerin, and finally here. I suppose I kind of float around wherever the Secretary needs me." She laughed, taking yet more of her food. "I don't mind it, really, Lets me see a lot more of the world. What about you?"

[Zee]

"My career started much like you, I was the Ambassador to East Moreland until Saladin was elected" As he said that he sipped from his drink and took a bite from the food, "It's really a very good experience, You get to travel and meet new people, But its really dangrous too" Said Adel recalling the assassination attempt.

"Anyways I hope you liked your short stay in Rashidun, It would be good to start our meeting now....Prolonging this would make me pay for more food..." Exclaimed Adel but kept the last part to himself, As he enjoyed the food on the table, He waited for Ms.Adams to take her time on eating and answering his questions.

[hobbes]

She laughed, "Absolutely, it was wonderful. And the food is much appreciated." She took another bite, swallowing before continuing. "Perhaps we should discuss the merits of proposing a potential trade agreement first?"

[Zee]

"Good idea Ms.Adams, May i sugest we start talking about the main needs of your nations and how we can tackle the economic problems currently Cascadia faces, I am sure we can work something out of this" Adel said smiling drinking some water that the waiter provided moments ago and waited for the lady to answer.

[hobbes]

"Sure, well, we always seek cheaper manufactured goods. With the exemption of a few specific markets we typically export raw materials and import manufactured goods. I am sure this works to Rashidun's benefit as well?" She took a sip of her drink.
